The working conditions for Norwegian artists today are, historically and globally, extraordinary. There is an access to extensive public funding, work grants and an art market. There is an institutional infrastructure, and a degree of material security that unimaginable to most artists globally. This workshop departs from the assumption that this will not last.

Informed by artist organization in less-funded contexts and Dean Spade's framework for «mutual aid», the workshop will make theory into practice. The scope is to identify the parallel structures and collaborations that can protect artistic work in a future where the current support system is no longer at play.
